I really like him but I question his judgement in choosing a female pastor for the church.

Oh I almost forgot, a really good autobiography I read was The Aquariums of Pyungyang. It gives you a rare look into life in North Korea.

I also love biographies but since I don`t have an English bookstore near me I just read what I can get my hands on. I can`t be too selective. I also read The Hiding Place which was excellent. The Diary of Anne Frank a classic! Joni by Joni Erickson Tada. It was really good. I tried reading...

One last comment (sorry for the length), 29 is a good age to start considering settling down and getting married, but 19 is young. I really question if she is mature enough to understand and appreciate a serious, life long relationship. I question if she really understands what love is. I`m...

I will tell another red flag with girls who grew up in difficult homes. Often these girls are hungry for love and are looking for the first chance to get out of the home so they often marry or have a baby ASAP, but that is not good for the girl because these girls often don`t fully understand...

Countryboy, yes there is a much bigger maturity difference between 29 and 19 vs. 49 and 40. A lot of growing up is done in this time frame so I am sure some of the issues are based on her still being quite young. I`ve always heard the maturity difference between a boy and girl is generally 2...

When I say "end the relationship", I mean just that. No more telephone calls, no more meeting each other, no more texting or emails, no more contacting her sister or friends to see how she is doing. I mean end it completely. I think it will be hard for you, but I think it is necessary. I...

Countryboy, I wonder how old you and your girlfriend are? I have a feeling I`m "old" compared to you. I`ve been married for 16 years, my parents have been married for 42 wonderful years, and all my relatives have very strong, solid marriages so I think I know a little bit about relationships...

I think there is an appropriate time for people to say "my country is the best". If you are around people of another nationality and proclaim that, it`s rude and actually shows how little a person knows. People who have spent a significant amount of time living among the people in other...

I don`t mean for this to sound trite but I truly believe what is great about America is God. God shining through the people, God in the foundations of the country, used to and still in some settings God in the educational system, God reflected in the legal/judicial system, God reflected in many...

Well, it has been over a year since my husband`s company closed & I said I would post when husband got a job. I praise God to be able to say, tonight, my husband got a job offer! This year has been a year of many emotions as well as a time of growth in my family for God. Just a week ago I was...

I think it is someone none of us know! I mean, I recently heard a pastor say he has a hunch that when we stand before God on Judgement Day and receive our rewards, we will probably be rewarded most for the things we have forgotten and the good deeds we thought we`d be getting rewards for, God...

I live in Japan, and near the U.S. military bases are usually several international churches where the services and most of the Bible studies are in English. Look and ask around and you might find such churches near you off base. In addition, because these are international churches, the...

"I wear certain shirts because he likes them more than others. He is the one you have to please...not your friend. I could care less if other people think I look good, as long as I feel pretty and comfortable in what I'm wearing and my husband finds it pleasing to his eyes." This is exactly the...

I suggest finding an open Bible study that includes everyone -young to old, married, single, parents, childless, laborers to professionals, educated and uneducated, etc. This would let you fit right in and these kinds of groups are really interesting because you get to hear all different...

I don`t know how useful my words will be but in regards to the rememberance service, is it possible that you could go alone? Afterall it is your friends and he would probably feel more comfortable not having to go through the motions of a religious service and you would feel more relaxed...

Destiny took the words right out of my mouth. You have to stop tampering w/other faiths. I once heard that people who make US currency never study counterfeit. They just study the REAL currency so they become so familiar with the feel, look, colors, and size of it that when counterfeit comes...

This is a very controversial subject that I generally do not touch. I have my personal beliefs on it but leave others to be convicted by God on how they interpret these Scriptures. I don`t wish to debate this subject I just want to share with you that I think you should follow your own...

I kind of found NYC Christian`s post sad until I read the follow-up that you have a good family & don`t mind those hardships so that`s good. As for me, it depends on what phase of life I have been in. As a child I had a hard time knowing how to balance obeying both God and my mother since my...

I wouldn`t divorce him but I certainly wouldn`t feed his laziness. If he wants to eat, he needs to work for it. He`s just freeloading off you and that needs to end. He is a man. Men should protect and provide for the woman especially when she is pregnant. You might need to separate which...
